Vladimir Tyulkin filmed some of the strangest comedic documentaries of the late Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic; more than three decades later, this is the first-ever Scottish screening of Lord of the Flies.

In Lord of the Flies, we spend time in the company of an older man who declares a war on flies infesting his small farm. Accompanied by his endless slew of pets (chickens, rabbits, dogs, and a hawk), he invents a ‘flytrone’, a contraption he also believes to be capable of solving world famine.
